The B-complex contains eight vitamins from vitamins group B, which are not stored in the human body, so we must ensure a sufficient supply every day. Their collective name is B-complex, because vitamins from this group are usually found together in food. They perform all important roles in the human body together and their effects complement or reinforce each other. B vitamins play a key role in metabolic processes, energy production, health of the skin, nervous system and red blood cells, as well as in the synthesis of various biological molecules.They help increase the function of the entire nervous system - when people feel stressed or depressed, they transmit nerve impulses and help nerve cells communicate with each other and function properly.
It is important to take B vitamins as a complex - whole, because their positive effect on the body is mutual. Deficiency of B vitamins mainly affects vegetarians and vegans, because B vitamins are contained in larger amounts in foods of animal origin - salmon, chicken and beef, liver, milk, eggs. In addition to B vitamins, the nutritional supplement is also enriched with vitamins C and E, which fight against oxidative stress.
